Why bother with a trillion dollar coin? Mr. Burns will steal it and then Castro will steal it from him.

Its all about the debt ceiling.
The republicans probably won't raise the limit, so the president has two options. Envoke article 14, sect4 of the constitution(which I think they said they won't do) OR use a loophole that allows the president to make platinum coins(mainly for collectors). All he will have to do is make one $1trillion coin, deposit it in the feds account and the debt ceiling won't even be an issue.

Someone doesn't watch cartoons if they actually thought I was looking for an answer to my question.

They'll never mint a trillion dollar coin because it's illegal to mint one without Congress approving the person & likeness that will go on the coin. They'll have to come to an agreement somehow and avoid this silliness.
